Hey Hillary!!  I promised you that I would post a DP of a photo from one of our annual trips!!  Here ya go!!

 MyKey and I, as well as 14 other 'Wonderful Women', will be spending next week camping together in the Sierras!! I will be pulling out of town this Sunday; I'm VERY much looking forward to our adventure!

This photo is of one of our favorite places to revisit during our annual time-away:  Florence Lake.  I took this shot in 2005 when my daughter Kamryn, MyKey and I went on this 'day excursion'.  We left our campsite in the morning, with a fabulous picnic, heading for F.L. where we rented one of these 'mini-yachts', then spent the day exploring!  The picnic was enjoyed with the sights and sounds of a beautiful waterfall, with its turquoise waters.

We have already reserved one of these same beautiful vessels for another 'day trip' this next week!  As you've probably figured out, I can hardly wait!!

Johnloguk:  FYI--the peak in the distance is Ward Mt., 10,862 ft.

I won't be able to post another DP before we head out:(

Blessings to each of you in this wonderful Daily community.  Honestly, I will miss my interraction here, and will look forward to posting a favorite shot on the day or two after our return! (July 23) 

 Be Well! Be Happy!  Live. Learn. Laugh. Love.

It's amazing re: Johnloguk's twin, who sits across from me at the Jury table!!  Today, I gave him a piece of paper with my website address, and instructions as to getting to the Daily Photos, and told him of my post from last night!
 
Re: the Jacaranda Trees...........actually, NONE of these photos do these trees adequate justice!  It's much prettier even than my shots portray!! To give an idea of the size of this beauty, that's a two story apt. behind it, and  (big!)Ucalyptus Trees in the BG, to the right!
I added two new shots from today into the gallery that I created yesterday (the last two images in the gallery...right now!) I went back to one of the Jacaranda Trees that I found yesterday.  Wanted the sunlight shining on it, instead of from behind, so I took the shots this morning on my way to Jury Duty!

Another very long, drawn-out day as a Juror!  At the 3:30 ten minute break, several of us had to go outside to refresh, in order to try to wake ourselves up! 
I'm tired now!  Good night!

I have just spent the last two days, from 9-5, serving on Jury Duty! For the most part, I was in a chair, sitting still, in windowless rooms, attempting to listen attentively and NOT nod off! We are released for lunch, and I've quickly made my way outside, choosing to walk to a resturant. The location is in downtown San Luis Obispo (California). 

There is an additional element of beauty in S.L.O. at this time of year: the incredibly gorgeous, periwinkle colored, fragrant, blossoming Jacaranda trees! I took my camera today, in hopes of being able to get some shots of a few of these beauties, which are sprinkled all around the city!
As soon as they dismissed us this afternoon, I headed straight for the car, grabbed the camera, and found the first photogenic Jacarandas, at the Mission. I dilly-dallied my way to the freeway, looking for other Jacarandas, and ended up at a little town park.
This was a beautiful and peaceful place to enjoy the setting sun, the stunning colors and perfect weather!
A GREAT way to unwind after being cooped up in a Jury box!!

I created a new gallery to house some of these Jacaranda tree images, and a few other pretties which caught my attention this afternoon: How to unwind after Jury Duty!

!!Hey...Johnloguk!! I found out yesterday that you have a twin in this area!!  He is a fellow juror!  I even introduced myself to him during a break, explaining SmugMug and the Daily community, and that he has a twin in Lincoln, England!

I truly wish I could get a shot of him to show y'all !  After the SP's which John has shared with us, I am certain everyone would agree!  
It's pretty uncanny!!

Please send prayers and positive this way!!  I have to do the jury thing again tomorrow, then we get 4 days off!  
Back again on Monday, through Wed., and maybe Thurs.!  :(   :(

Spent photo time today uploading into a new gallery.  Johnloguk:  maybe this will relieve some of your disappointment!! 
Closest thing I could get to poultry!! Big Sur Coastline

Went for an afternoon walk on Wednesday while on R&R !  Greg chose to stay at the campground and read, so I took the tripod as a companion!  This is a favorite area for me and my kids!   We've loved camping at Plaskett Creek (across the highway from this area), and spending time down on this beach. There is a trail, and steep stairs on the right side of those bluffs.
But we'd make a beeline for the far north (left) end of the beach; there are several caves to play in and explore!  Well....when the tide is low enough!  Some great trails, with incredible views on the other side, up into the hills!

Was thinking of this community  when I was taking this and several other SP's!  Hillary:  I had to squat down, otherwise the wind would have blown me off that edge!!!  Figured if the wind blew over the tripod, the camera would have landed fairly softly in that shrub.

BTW:  I finally made the decision and took the time to enter the 'Artists Wanted' competition.  Would be great if you could check it out and offer some votes, if you like the entries!

P.S. Some little glitches in the Sponsor's entry forms, but I am not waiting until they fix the problems in my 'Bio'.  When you click on the 'view the portfolio at:' you'll notice some extra rn's (?!?!) which look to be associated with some punctuation.  With that in mind, I'm sure you'll figure out that which I wrote!  I do hope you enjoy "My Other Worlds"!!
